What Owners Say
"As I had hoped, the sport model has decent acceleration and handling. Getting onto a highway or passing, the turbo kicks in and the car does what it should."
John S., NC (2018 Hyundai Elantra)"Good super acceleration when merging onto highway."
Ellen B., PA (2018 Hyundai Elantra)"The car lags and lurches at times for no apparent reason. I take my foot off the gas and the car 'dies', then suddenly picks back up. It's been this way since I got it, so I guess it how the car drives. Not happy.."
Anonymous, MD (2018 Hyundai Elantra)"This Hyundai Elantra Sport Sedan corners very well. I also own a MINI Cooper S, and the Hyundai can definitely keep pace with it on the twisty mountain roads of East Tennessee. The 1.6L turbo engine has plenty of punch, and the 6-speed manual shifts very smoothly, even more smoothly than the 6-speed manual on my MINI. This car is a lot of fun to drive, and it gets about 35 MPG on the highway, and it does it on regular 87-octane gasoline. It is a great value."
Ronald H., TN (2018 Hyundai Elantra)"A little hesitation when staring out."
Anonymous, IA (2018 Hyundai Elantra)"Very well behaved for a small car. Hyundai has really done well with this car!"
John M., AL (2018 Hyundai Elantra)"Handling is very good and it rides good for the level of handling it provides"
Anonymous, OH (2018 Hyundai Elantra)"It is very fuel efficient and the acceleration is impressive for such an economical car"
Jerry S., AZ (2018 Hyundai Elantra)"It is amazing that we get the kind of driving experience we do from a 4 cylinder engine."
Ronald V., FL (2018 Hyundai Elantra)"All are very good."
Anonymous, AL (2018 Hyundai Elantra)"handling is much improved over the the 2013 model of the same car"

"the most boring car I've ever driven. nothing stands out. feels like I'm driving an appliance. boring acceleration, boring handling. it has no character of any kind"
